Solanum Seaforthianum. 



A climbing vine of unusual grace and beauty. Seeds 

 sown in Spring produce thrifty plants which flower by 

 July until frost. The vines completely cover a trellis 

 ten feet high, carrying lovely light blue flowers in immense 

 pendulous panicles, like clusters of Wistarias. They 

 flower in greatest profusion until killed by frost, the early- 

 maturing flowers are followed by scarlet seed berries. 

 This vine is also of unusual merit for growing in pots, for 

 window or greenhouse decoration Pkt. 10c. 



STOKESIA CYANEA, 



The Hardy Blue "Cornflower Aster." 



This beautiful hardy perennial plant is not so well 

 known as it deserves to be. No garden, large or small, 

 should be without it. As a single specimen or group in 

 the herbaceous border it makes for itself a place that 

 cannot be filled by any other hardy plant, while for beds 

 or masses of any size it is very attractive. It is of the 

 easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and 

 succeeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow 

 from 18 to 24 inches high and begin flowering in July, 

 continuing without interruption till late in October to 

 produce their handsome lavender-blue cornflower-like 

 blossoms. 4 to 5 inches across, on long stems, rendering 

 them highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade 

 of color not over plentiful at any season of the 

 year Pkt. 10c.
